Educational multipurpose rooms are designed to support the varied activities that take place within its walls, typically ranging from meeting and dining to multi-media and large-scale teaching use. Adequately meeting the lighting needs of a multipurpose space may require a layout that incorporates a variety of luminaires and/or lighting systems. This approach ensures the light levels are appropriate for all intended uses of the space. Dimming, occupancy sensing, and scheduling options should be considered to enhance flexibility and energy savings, while also addressing code requirements. Control options can be used to create zones, tailoring the lighting to the task at hand. High-abuse lighting solutions, certified to perform, are ideal for multipurpose educational spaces.
Due to the variety of activities performed in a multipurpose room, fixture selection should be based primarily on durability and reliability. If impact challenges from sports exist, fixture construction and mounting should be carefully considered, as should risk to exit signs and receptacles. The use of additional fixtures with larger apertures not only improves the visibility of fast-moving objects but also reduces shadows. Well-lit ceilings are valued, although pendant mounting may be carefully considered. Dimming zones and focus areas are also ideal in accommodating variable use scenarios.
Kenall will repair or replace qualifying luminaires rendered inoperable due to intentional abuse by vandals or accidental impact for the normal service life of the fixture.
